G And Mell Riddim – Cool And Calm Productions

Cool and Calm Productions keeps the G And Mell Riddim in classic roots-reggae territory, with a steady, mid-paced swing and enough space for the singers to stretch out their messages. The release landed in 2020 as a digital riddim project and came through with ten cuts from 11 voices, including I Wayne, Richie Spice, Medzin, Lutan Fyah, Kabaka Pyramid, Luciano, Nitty Kutchie, Lymie Murray, Iceman, and the combination from Crwaaby and Hurricano. The lineup alone tells you the lane here: conscious reggae voices, veteran singers, and newer names meeting on one foundation.

I Wayne’s Dem Nuh Genuine sets the tone with his calm, stern delivery, while Richie Spice’s I Can See Clearly brings that familiar warm, melodic push he’s long been known for. Lutan Fyah’s Guh Look A Wuk and Luciano’s Bring The Family deepen the spiritual and social edge, keeping the lyric sheet rooted in everyday pressure, perseverance, and moral clarity. Kabaka Pyramid’s Road To Walk adds a sharper contemporary touch, and Nitty Kutchie’s Happiness and Lymie Murray’s Keep Me Coming smooth out the edges with uplift and a lighter singjay flow.

As a project, G And Mell works because it stays loyal to roots reggae’s patient pulse without sounding stiff. The production leaves room for message songs to breathe, and the best performances use that open space well. It sits neatly in the 2020 reggae riddim run: serious, reflective, and aimed at listeners who still want substance with their groove.
